All that Gaga
Dark Spindle has enjoyed a wonderful month as we have progressed from one screening, to a selection for a workshop at the DIFF and meeting a tonne of people in the industry.
Here i will especially mention one such person. Mike; who by day represents a fabulously creative company which goes by the name of "9714" and by night runs I-BO at the Millennium Hotel near the Airport. He conducts a film screening there every Monday evening. This week it was the very popular "Being Osama" by a local Director Mahmood Kabour and i have to admit it is a must see. I had tears in my eyes and when that happens, we all know what it means.
In brief, Being Osama looks at the post 9/11 lives of 6 men from Montreal named Osama. Contrary to popular belief, the doco doesnt just deal with racism, it is a whole lot more, looking into the depths of what makes these Osama's stand tall regardless of what the state of the world is.
I suggest all of you head to I-BO regularly for the screening session is beyond just comfortable. You have such cute sofas, you almost feel grand. With dark walls, and tired Dubaians loitering about, anticipating a thought provoking movie, I-BO is a perfect hangout for someone looking to relax and let things be. What's more, if you're a girl, you will absolutely love Mike's company. Not only is he astonishingly, adorably good looking, attractive and dare i say hot, he is as charming as they come. Pleasant smile and a welcoming attitude added to the ambient is bound to cheer you up. So do yourself a favor and pay the place a visit!
Thas all for now.
Wish me luck for the workshop.
Best Wishes
